RACES and RACE HORSES.
A BRILLIANT TURF SEASON FOR
THE SOUTH
And for the West-The Stables OF the
Memphis Jockey Club Course
Filled Exceptionally Well.

Even at this early day there is lively
interest in the approaching spring
race me citing Not only is this the
case here, but throughout the country,
and the outlook gives promise OF q
memorable year in the annals of the
turf. Horse racing Is an extensive
eport, but Il seems to be taking q
firmer hold on the people as the years
roll by. II reasonable and just laws
could be enacted in the matter OF pool
selling and book making, and the me-
farious system OF long meetings, often
exter ding int, the dead OF winter,
could be abolished, the turf would
soon attain leading position in
America.
In this connection thu Nashville
Union says: Everything points to an
unusually brilliant season In the
South and West. The stakes here
and at Memphis have filed exception
ally well, the totals for the West Side
events exceeding 10 the aggregated
we are not mistaken-auy ever before
recorded by the local association. The
Union's readers have already been ap-
prised Of the number Of entries for the
stakes OF these two associations, The
local people have a slight advantage
over their Memphis rivals in the
number OF nominstiors, but this ia
probably accounted for from the fact
that the stakes are more liberal, and
because turfman desired to see the
inaugural m setiug over the new course
a pro nounced sHccess.

MECHANICS LIEN LAW.
SENATOR HENRY J. LYNN DIS.
AvOws THE AUTHORSHIP
Finlay aad Peters and Fa-
thersd by w. I. Cole.

To the Editors Of the Appeal:
Your reporter has given me several
surprises and one especially painful
in the ar icle in yesterdays APPEAL
about the mechanics lien law. am
reported as saying, ~ prepared it after
close study and consultation" II
there is one thing which / abhor
more than another 1t Is for one man to
calm the credit for the work OF an
other. Therefore, let me just say now
as publicly as possible that the pro-
posed mechanics lien law is the COM
bined work OF number OF leading
mechanics Of Memphis, ably assisted
by Mr.. VIM. l. Cole and other ma.
terial men of our city, who were also
thoroughly and carefully advised and
assisted in drafting the bill by Messrs.
Finlsy and Peters, attorneys. This
bill is simply digest Of the Missouri
lien laws, which ara the best Of all the
States in the Union. and the present
bill is the Brogan bill, which came 30
near passing two years ago. Let me
also say that ali of our seven Shelby
county mem oers OF the Legislature are
earnest in their deeire to push the
measure through, and l therefore I'm
simply trying to do my part in the
work jointly with them-iust as we
promised the mechanics we would do
during the Campsign. Further
more, that the country members
of the Legislature, 60 far, have not
manifested any particular opposition
to the bill, but what / wished to say
to your reporter was simply this:
Tha, in measures OF this kind the
country members were generally
averse to them, just as they were to
interest laws, for the reason that all
OF this class of legislation was, in the
very nature of things, in the interest
OF city people, fr I'm ths farmers
standpoint, ard therefore the me-
chanics' lien law might find opposi-
ton from some Of them. But, ss
stated, 80 far no decided opposition
has shown itself to the Memphis bill
from any particular Cla;s OF the NOM
bersbip OF this General Assembly,
aud l sincerely trust that by our
united efforts the bill will loon be-
come a law.
With many thanks to the APPEAL
for it's favor and good will and good
cheer to the Shelby delegation, 1 re-
main very truly, 1890,

A large and fashionable audience
appeared at the Thester last evening,
notwithstanding that Edwin Booth
will be the great dramatic attraction to-
morrow night aud during the
rest OF the week. 1t makes
but little difference who comes
before or after Lotia, she draws big
houses regardless of other or stronger
attractions. II would be difficult to
give the true reason for her wonderful
popularity-it simply 'is 30 because 1t
Is co." What can be dTolleT or more
grotesquely comical than her "Marchi-

Little Nell2" They are her best
roles, and ere presented in most at
tTactive and artistic manner. The au.

company was commendable. Tonight

J. w. STANSELL REJECTED.
A CHANCE FOR OFFICE SEEKERS
FOR THE OFFICE OF
Hull Inspector for the sixth District
Capt. J. ID. Randall Probably
she Coming Man.

Some three or four months ago the
Board OF Deslgnators met in this city
to nomisate man for the office OF In-
speetor Of Hulls for the SIKH Civil
District, in place OF Capt Hiram Bra.
zee, the present incumbent. The
Board consists OF Capt Irwin Dugan, of
Louisville, Capt. t. F. Tobin, Surveyor
of the port OF Memphis. and Judge f..
S. Hammond, Of the United States
Circuit court. After an examination
OF the claims OF the various applicants,
and on the support Of Capt. Dugan,
Mr.. ]. w. Stansell was designated for
the office, and the report Of the Board
for arded to the Secrt tary OF the
Treasury at Washington. The report,
however, was not unanimous, as Judge
Hammond filed o protest, on the
ground that Stansell was ineligible,
according to statute provisions. Since
that time the matter has been under
advisement by the Secretary until yes.
terday, when he informed the Board Of
his decision, and instructed them to
hold another meeting on the 10th III
slant.
Capt. Stansell, the rejected Captain,
came ON Helena to this city about a
year ago, since which time he has
been sand contractor. II Is said that
the main reason which prompted
Capt. Dugan to stand firmly by
Capt. stAnsell, in opposition to
local and other applicants, was in
compliance with SORT OF understand
ing that either the huh or boiler in
spectorship was to go to an Arkansas
man, and as Stansell carried a hearty
Endorsement from that section, no
other course was open.
Next to stsnsell, Capt. ]. d. Randall,
was q favorite for the position, and, but
for the pledge 30 Arkansas, would
probably have secured the prize. Capt.
Dugan, In discussing the matter, told
Capt. Randall to provide him
self with Endorsements from Ar
kaneas, and in case Stansell failed
to 70 through he would cheerfully
transfer his support in that direction.
Capt Randall did as directed, and
win now stand q fine chance to re-
ceive the nomination, The Captain,
although living in Memphis, was for
years running steamboat, on Arkansas
rivers, and also served during the war
with troop from that State. His APP
pointment would, therefore, be no
violation OF the previous under
standing.
